Worrying about my Dad today- we had to take him to Athens Hospital today for a suspected heart attack. They are running tests, but have also transferred him to the bigger Huntsville Hospital for the larger cardio unit observations rooms. Due to COVID, none of us will be allowed to go into the hospital. I think Dad is feeling very alone and afraid. This is a cruelest of times. Please, if you can, have a thought for my Dad as we struggle through this. AND a thought for Mom, who can hardly understand what is going on. :(

I am sad beyond words to have to say that my Dad passed away today- Tuesday. He was and always will be my hero.
